Best Places In The World To Retire

The state of Quintana Roo (includes Cancun, Cozumel, Playa del Carmen, Tulum, and here in Akumal has amazing golf courses. Bahia Principe comes with a golf residence, so we are surrounded by a golf course called Robert Trent Jones II, named after the golfer who designed the golf course. The views from the golf course are amazing, like green, lush grass that blends in with the jungle. Golfing is an amazing sport for people who come around Quintana Roo.

Yes, there are a lot of golf courses in Quintana Roo. Most of the residential communities that are big have a golf course within the community because of its high rates of tourism, which means they also have a lot of hotels. 

 

One of the best things to do in Quintana Roo is go golfing in this region. There are more than 10 golf courses in 130 kilometers of the Riviera Maya. If you go from Cancun to Tulum, you’ll find many different golf courses.

Yes, you can buy good clothes in Portugal.

 

I’m tall, so when I first came to Portugal many years ago, I couldn’t find anything to fit me, so I ended up having to go to a dressmaker. Now you don’t need to do that at all because you can get practically everything like you can get in the States or in England. And now that the Chinese are doing business here in Portugal, there are massive, great department stores as well.

And so if you want “cheap and cheerful” you’ve got “cheap and cheerful.” If you want to spend a lot, there are plenty of places to do that. Clothes are easy to get here. Shoes are easy. In fact, Portugal has become the second country next to Italy to produce the best shoes.

I am not bothered by mosquitos and other bugs and insects as much as my wife; she is a "Bug Magnet." However, she has found that Avon Skin So Soft Bug Guard Plus Expedition with SPF 30 Sunscreen, Avon Skin So Soft Bath Gel and for after the fact Avon Skin So Soft Anti Itch Spray (Contains NO DEET) works well.

 

She is not an Avon rep, just found that these products work for her.  Try it, it just might work for you. We live in Pedasi, near...

The thing I like most particularly in Placencia is that there are a lot of interactions between the locals and everybody else. One reason is because the locals speak English; everybody speaks English. In Placencia, we do not have animosity and discrimination, so you can interact with anybody here. I have a lot of friends here who are locals, including a taxi cab drivers, nannies, some of the people who clean rooms in the hotels, all the way to resort owners and businessmen.

In Placencia there is a whole variety of socio-economic, religion, and ethnic diversity and everybody seems to get along. So your neighbor could be a retired American, or it could be a local taxi driver or it could be a guy who owns a coffee shop. We have a whole variety of people down here and everybody really seems to get along and interact.
